Subj: Re: [kl] sudden intonation change

Since you have it for such a short time, my guess is
weather. There is usually a difference in intonation
between winter and summer with all my clarinets.

Another possibility, but not very likely (and this is
not for the G note, only the others) is that the stop
material (cork?) on the A and G# keys is bad and
quickly wore and now the keys open more. Check if
lowering the keys without affecting response of the
notes helps.
